Wall Cabinet Doors

I’m working on completing a wall cabinet which I started a couple of years ago (this is a common theme in my woodworking). This week’s progress has been mostly the doors. The frames of the doors are maple, as are the case parts, while the panels in the doors are book matched walnut. This is my first attempt at bookmatching (which isn’t shown in these pictures). The pictures shown here are a front view of one of the doors, the strips which will hold the panel from the back and the joint at one corner of the door.

nice look I like the accent from dark to light color of the wood, looks very good, glad to know i’m not the only one that takes time to get projects finished, my wife is always on my back about taking so long

The perfectionist thing is part of it. Then there’s all the other demands on my time. One of the major reason that I have so many unfinished projects (at least 12 at last count) has to do with my shop. I don’t have a tablesaw, planer or jointer at home, so I take adult ed classes to get access to those tools. It doesn’t feel right (the cheap-skate in me) to use class time for construction that I can do at home. The result is a shop and basement full of uncompleted projects.

Santa’s been told, but since we’re planning a major renovation including of the shop space acquiring a table saw right now isn’t in the cards. I really don’t want to put a table saw into storage. Once the shop space is ready one of the first additions will be a table saw.
